Monster no Goshujin-sama

Epilogue

Three months have passed since the battle in the Imperial Capital.

I was back at the allele.

I came back about two months ago.

The journey to Akel itself didn't take much with Shimadzu-san's "Fairy Ring", but it took a little time to leave the Imperial Capital.

Speaking of what he was doing, it was mainly a compromise with the cathedral church.

Until now, the Cathedral Church had placed us in danger of threatening the "worldview" that was stabilizing the world.

As a matter of fact, this is no longer a problem.

Because I made modifications to the World View that no one could touch since the first brave man was appointed.

In the battle against Kojiro Nakajima, I was completed as a 'connector'.

There is no reason why we cannot do what the first brave man did.

Lily and her family reconfigured the World View by incorporating it into their existence, so the cathedral church had no reason to come out here.

Rather, it will move in a protective manner.

Harrison, who has regained consciousness, promised me his cooperation in the future.

It is only natural that he was hostile from the beginning, not disgust or hostility, but only to protect the world.

It was impressive that a man like that steel was somehow relieved at the time.

We also discussed the stabilization mechanism itself, which was created in the era of the first heroes.

After all, it was made more than a thousand years ago.

Until now, there had been no means of intervention, so the world had to continue to be more in tune with the existing "world view".

Well, then, it's only natural that you can't.

However, now that I have completed it as a "connector", it is also possible to change the "worldview" to one that suits the times.

This point alone can be said to be an unexpected by-product of the disturbances caused by Kojiro Nakajima.

From now on, the story came to an end by cooperating with the church.

However, there was talk that he would give me a key position in the cathedral church, but I had this fixed.

However, this is not just a matter of our feelings.

Regardless of how much public opinion is induced, many people who do not know the situation are anxious that the "monster use" that has been in the problem until now suddenly takes up a key position.

Moreover, the power to rewrite what is said to be the backbone of the world is a kind of drama.

It would be better to manage my existence freely and the "cornerstone of the world", which is the key to this, independently.

Of course, the situation may change slowly.

Now let's get back to Akel as originally planned.

After consulting with everyone, we concluded that we had left the Imperial Capital.

The journey to Akel was accompanied by Kamihiko, the Commander, and the Knights of the Allied Knights, in addition to the members when they arrived.

I spent the first week back at the royal palace.

However, you cannot remain a Guest forever.

I also consulted with the Royal Family of Akel to decide on the future.

My wish remains unchanged from the beginning of my journey.

Living with all your family.

We decided to start a new life in the pioneering village of Silane's birth, which had been abandoned before.

It's getting slower than I thought.

"Thermal"

"I can't help it. This is all."

In the evening, I was visiting a store with Lily.

"Gosh, Sama! Hayak!"

Asarina, a thin, transparent girl, flips her green hair and slips through the door with pleasure.

I continued to ring the doorbell and opened the door and stepped into the store.

"Ah, senpai."

Kato, who was dealing with Asarina, looked back.

A gentle and modest smile was directed at him.

"Welcome home. The royal palace is done talking."

"Oh, he said he wanted to send someone new. Melvin and the others packed the details, so we asked Cass to come back first."

From my point of view, I often come and go to King's Landing.

It's a long way from the Royal Palace to Takumi Village, but with the dragon's wings, there's no obstacle.

It seems that dragons flying in the sky are becoming familiar in King's Landing.

When I was talking, Rose came out from the back of the store.

"Welcome, Master. That said, as long as you're still ashamed of the killing scene."

"Really? I haven't seen this store in a week, but it looks like it's quite ready."

"Fufu. Mr. Rose says this, but the progress is not bad. I think we'll open the store in half a month."

There are things you can do because you've settled your hips in one place.

Rose, a great magic tool maker, was moving to start a shop that seemed to have been on his mind for a long time.

Kato-san and Gabella are working together to help.

Mainly with Rose's equipment and groceries, Gabella plans to provide clothing and more.

However, the immediate purpose is to interact with the people of the village rather than to earn living expenses.

This is because goods made by Rose in particular, if poorly handled, could cause significant fluctuations in economic activity with respect to some of the current products.

"Speaking of which, what did Philip say about the store?"

I shook my head sideways to Kato-san, who came all the way.

"Nothing. I just want you to be careful what you've been paying attention to before."

"If you distribute cheap, ultra-high quality goods in large quantities, there is potential for friction with existing industries. Especially for Mr. Rose, I can source the ingredients myself."

"As for the Akel royal family, it seems to be true that I want high-quality equipment to be able to reach my throat."

People's lives are at stake.

Nevertheless, people who have supported industry up to now are lost in the open because of what they have offered to save people's lives, and as a result, if life and even life are lost, they will not be able to see.

"If anyone is unhappy about it, it leaves unnecessary roots in the future. I'm trying to distribute it, little by little."

Although it is becoming accepted, the risk that the presence of a family member may become a foreign object is not zero.

Woe to you, nothing worrying has happened so far, but you won't have to worry too much.

"In that regard, Takumura is not turning around in the monetary economy. It is helpful to think little about the impact. Well, that means there aren't many guests... but it's bad for Rose."

Turning to her eyes, Rose tilted her neck.

"You don't have to worry about it. I'll be happy with the vegetables and the shop."

"Mr. Rose...!

Kato hugged Rose with an overwhelming voice.

Lily shook her shoulders.

You're as close as ever.

That's right.

I nodded and Rose, who was still taking Kato-san, turned towards me.

"Do your masters still have work to do?

"No, I'm going home."

Really? I'll come with you. Looks like Robbies are back too. "

When you leave the newly built store, the view of the sunset village spreads over it.

Towards the entrance to the village, a silane appeared along the way giving instructions to soldiers in training gear.

She is wearing knight's armor herself.

"Good work. Looks like you're working hard."

"Ah, Takahiro Hall. Perfect. I just finished my training today. Where's Takahiro?

"I'm going to pick up the Robbies. How about Silane?"

"I'll come with you."

With a light hand on her armor's chest, she calls out to the people she was mentoring.

I waved at them, and then proceeded.

How's everybody doing?

Thank you for your hard work.

Silane, dressed as a knight, smiled proudly.

"After all, it's to protect the village we built together."

This pioneering village was abandoned during a previous MacLaurin Border Army raid.

Until two months before we arrived, we were covered in the sea of trees.

They removed the trees, rebuilt the house, and dressed the village.

Of course, it's not just our job.

The current inhabitants of this village are the inhabitants of the pioneering village and the dragons of the dragon abyss.

By working with them, reconstruction proceeded at a rapid pace.

In addition, Royal Akel guided the Royal Army personnel.

The royal family will have a lot of help, but to some extent it's for each other.

Even for Akel, our presence here would greatly reduce the burden on the Royal Army if we were allowed to crush monsters around here.

They were expecting more, and they heard they were going to recruit more migrants to make up for the shortage of manpower.

Rather than rebuilding, we will almost launch and develop a new pioneering village.

And it was convenient for us.

For example, even if you live in an alley, you can't avoid friction if you bring your family to the town.

Some of the inhabitants would never accept the existence of a monster.

However, if we are to start and develop settlements in our presence from the beginning, that is different.

If only people who know we exist and want to migrate on purpose, the problem can be minimized.

Rather, the question was whether immigrants would show up, but that seemed to be the result of the authentic grassroots activities piled up before leaving for the Imperial Capital.

Besides, the situation has improved since the Cathedral Church officially expressed reconciliation and future alliances before coming back here.

To delight in the future of a bright village, Silane narrowed his eyes.

"I had to let go of my hometown once... when I saw it rebuild like this, there was something in my chest."

She took a sword to protect her home village and people in the same situation.

I guess there's more to it than just getting settled.

"Philip was talking. This pioneering village will develop into a town in the not too distant future."

"If that's true, it's great. I have to do my best."

Silane, who usually trains the inhabitants of Takumi Village, is returning to the Alliance Knights.

Currently, he works as a representative of the knights dispatched in the form of secondment, and is also tasked with teaching soldiers who have come to the village.

Since it is normal to organize vigilante groups in villages and towns in the tree sea, you will eventually be in a position to supervise them.

"Ah! Takahiro!

At the entrance to the village, several people who had returned from outside were being greeted by opening the gate.

One of them snorts his red hair and runs.

I held her in my arms.

"Welcome back, Robbie."

"I'm back. I've been patrolling the streets."

Robbie says she rubs her chest.

She had just returned with her sisters to secure the road to the next village.

The dragons of the dragon abyss became the guardians of the surrounding area when they lived in the village.

Consider them dragons with high combat abilities, and they'll be a good match for monster slaying.

In addition, the people of the neighboring villages are thankful and naturally familiar.

They are no different in appearance, they have already begun to interact with people in other villages, and it may be said that the attempt has been quite successful.

The situation in this village is more advanced, and we are actively exposing ourselves as dragons.

For now, the inhabitants of this pioneering village were protected by the dragon-like Robbies when they fled the Border Guard with us.

As a result, I was accustomed to the existence of dragons.

If the villagers aren't scared, the soldiers they send won't be able to be all scared of themselves for pride.

It was quick to get used to nature.

It is already a matter of course to see dragons in this village.

If there is a gradual increase in the number of inhabitants, it will remain a natural sight.

See you later.

We took Robbie, who waved at her sisters, and we all set out on our way home.

Our house was completed about a week ago.

The house is built in the middle of the village where the village chief's house was originally located.

This is because I have become the representative of this village.

I was a little worried that the original inhabitants wouldn't complain... but the village chief's house is Silane and Kay's parents' home.

Rather than supporting them, we have actively encouraged them to build houses here.

The house thus built is a very splendid wooden two-story house according to the standards of the pioneering village in the world.

Rather than luxurious, it was Rose who made it.

Incidentally, such an appearance is a fine but ordinary house - the entity can become a special specification that is okay even if it is subjected to the magic of the transferee.

This is already Petit Fortress, Lily's impression.

Rose herself said, "I want to build a castle."

Apparently, I was impressed by the cathedral in the Imperial Capital.

It was more impressive to see Rose with his eyes sparkling like a child in his hand than Acre's Imperial Castle, and Kato-san, who seemed to be too cute and distracted.

Well, I couldn't give permission because I wanted to make it, but I talked to him about other things and made him like it.

The result is this petite fortress.

By the way, it also has some secret features.

It's scalable, so it might be flying in a few years.

Whatever.

The building is spacious and there are quite a few rooms for the whole family to live in.

Well, given the "increase" in the future, it will not be too wide.

"... hmm?

When I tried to enter the house, I felt the magic from the magic tool bag.

"Communications. Please go back first."

After refusing, I removed the magic tool for long-range communication from inside the bag.

It was researched and reproduced by Rose while in the Imperial Capital.

Originals require the quality of the magic stone used as a material, and craftsmanship is a very valuable magic tool that uses ultra-high technology, but it takes time to reproduce it in her hands.

Although there are limitations because of her personal production, it can still be said that the impact she has on society is overwhelming among her family members as a result of minor major technological innovation.

"Ah, Majima. You ready now?"

The voice from the magical instrument belonged to Iino.

While I have returned to Akel, her and other Explorer transferees remain in the Empire City.

The exploration team came together in a new structure, with Iino as the leader and Shimadzu as the deputy leader.

Having said that, Iino will continue to fly around the world because of that personality.

Mr. Shimadzu said that he was likely to take over substantive command.

This is either a division of roles or personal aptitude.

Around ten of Kojiro Nakajima's bellies and Moeko Kuriyama, who was captured in Panama when he tried to escape, were to serve time, but about the forty Explorer members who joined the tracking unit and turned to the enemy as they were, they joined the new Explorer because they had been deceived.

I don't know what to think, but in fact, they didn't kill anyone.

Twenty of us who fought in Imperial defense didn't let them die.

Considering their mood, it is more problematic to punish them severely.

Moreover, while the world was once on the verge of "catastrophic destruction" to activate the activities of monsters, the Knights of the Cathedral were highly damaged in the battle against the "King of Disasters" and are expected to lack combat power for the next decade.

If the response fails to catch up, people in the north of the Empire, including the Imperial Capital, will suffer.

Social service activities are a bit flawed, but engaging in monster crusades everywhere will make it easier to pay for your sins.

Well, Iino, who became the leader of such a nascent expedition, contacted me in two days.

"Sorry, Iino. I'm out now. If you need anything, I'll call you back."

"Yeah, it's not such a big deal. I'll be right there."

I see.

Basically, the communication from her is mainly a status report, and it is not something that can be called an errand.

I think it's okay to contact me less often, but I wonder if it's surprisingly free to contact me every day.

I don't think so.

Besides, he said he had something to talk about during the battle with Kojiro Nakajima, but when he waved around, he shut up.

Iino across the magical tools said quickly, wondering what she was waiting for today.

"I'll be there in a minute. Thank you very much."

"... what?

Bye bye.

As if to escape, the communication has broken down.

"What was that?

I don't mind coming, but it's quite abrupt.

As they turned their gaze while using magical tools, everyone who had heard the current communication was talking about something.

"This is a bit like Iino-sama....."

Maybe.

"Maybe, what is it, genuine vegetables?"

"What? What's he gonna do?

"I wonder if it's finally decided. I don't know. I feel like I'm screwing up again."

The door of the house opened when I leaned my neck inside to talk about something.

Kuu

"Welcome back, everyone."

From the gap between the open doors, the yawn immediately popped out and circled under his feet.

After that, Gabella appeared, with an innocent smile on her face.

Apparently we hardly came into the house, but I had to get rid of the numbness.

"Thank you for your message. Are you bored?"

"No, what? My concubine has something to do. It doesn't matter."

Incidentally, one of Gabella's "things to do" is to work with Rose to prepare items for the store.

The other thing is "bride training."

... it seems Kamihiko blew something in.

To be honest, I only have a bad feeling about it, but Gabella is tense anyway.

Now, the spacious room of Gabella was her nest.

Well, it's good because it's her kind of habit, but the problem is the huge number of cocoons placed there.

I tried not to think too much about how many people I was going to make.

Unexpectedly, there was no bitter smile - it was then.

……

Signs of contact.

From the deep inside, which is still connected, there is something that reaches out.

The moment your consciousness switches.

――

In a moment, the scenery changed in front of the house in Takumi Village.

It's similar to daydreaming, but it's not.

A sprawling school yard.

A chalky school building that looks out front.

It's my own inner world.

There was a heterologous molecule.

Asarina, who appeared as a girl, said.

"Gosh, Sama. Alle, Kitel."

"Yeah, I know."

As he nodded, he appeared before his eyes.

"Hey, I'm sorry to bother you."

A young man with burnt brown hair, the first brave man, smiled.

"You're safe. I thought I was running out of power for a while because I stopped eating erosion from Kojiro Nakajima."

We were the first brave men to leave the fight to us, but we didn't do anything in the meantime.

He was working with me against the King of Disasters to keep the world from taking control.

If you can't participate in a real world battle, you can say that underwater work was huge.

Without him, the world would have been over before we reached the final showdown.

You could have said you were a benefactor.

Somehow. Well, it's not much damage compared to you. "

I see.

Exchange helpless interactions.

On several occasions so far, I have had the opportunity to speak with the first brave man.

In the meantime, his impressions were indescribable.

But I don't feel creepy right now.

Rather than what their intentions were, it was simply because of my increased power as a 'connector'.

He seemed to have noticed the same thing.

"After all, you seem to be more powerful now. It's a big deal. I'm ashamed of myself being swallowed up."

"The conditions will be different from what you did at first."

I shook my neck to the side.

"In the first place, in my case, Salvia is united to reinforce our existence. It's not just me."

"I don't think so. There is a big difference between those who fail and those who arrive at completion. I wouldn't have made it there without you. [M] Even with your help, you should be brave. You've arrived."

In fact, because we have reached this level, we don't have to feel creepy about the first brave man who was once at the top.

However, it didn't seem to be the only reason why the young man's expression seemed calm.

It's like you've been freed from something.

It's like I've done everything I can.

With that face, he said.

"But you're not surprised. It was a sudden visit."

"I thought they'd come into contact soon."

I see. Then it's too early to talk. I thought I had to apologize for Salvia. "

……

She's melted into this world now, and she can't talk.

Indeed, she was a kind of insurance that the first heroes created to manage the world well.

In that sense, I can't help but blame for her disappearance...

"That was Salvia's choice. I'm not going to hold you responsible."

She did not follow the features she was given when she was born.

He helped us by his own will.

The only way to blame the first brave man here was to treat his decision and thoughts lightly.

On the other hand, I was rather grateful to him.

"You must be like a Salvian birth parent. I don't intend to treat it unhindered."

"That's...."

The young man looked surprised.

At the same time, he seemed convinced of everything.

"Oh, I see. I'm sure that's why you made that decision. I was relieved. You'll be fine."

"What..."

I noticed it as soon as I asked.

The body of the first brave vanishes.

It was not just visible, it was diminishing.

"I was just representing the world's administrators who weren't there. My role is over now that the next generation of complete 'connectors' has been born."

The young man who kept watching the world while being captured by the abyss sighed deeply.

"I wanted to protect the world we all live in. It was just that."

His eyes might have seen the precious people he wanted to protect until he became a 'Connector'.

"Oh, really. I'm glad we made it before we reached our limit. I'm finally there too....."

At the end of the day, the young man, who had spent many years as the world's administrator, disappeared.

"... you were just like me."

There were young people who disappeared satisfactorily, but nothing remained.

He did what he had to do.

"Gosh, Sama. Samishi, come?

"It's okay."

Asarina in this world can also have entities.

While stroking her head as she hugged me, I think a little.

As can be seen from the fact that the first brave man did not disappear for more than a thousand years, the "Connector" is out of the sense of the world.

Me, too.

We could go with Lily and the others with different lifespans.

So, after that.

It may be possible to watch the world like him...

"No, that's not what I'm thinking right now."

I ended my thoughts there without benefit.

That's what you should think about after everything is over.

After many battles, we finally arrived at a place of rest.

Our lives are just beginning.

――

A gust of wind blew.

As if you were right.
